[The limb-salvage surgery in the treatment of patient with osteosarcoma].
The survival of patient with osteosarcoma could be successfully prolonged and, moreover, limb-salvage procedures have become possible in carefully selected patients. One hundred and forty-seven patients with osteosarcoma, ranging in age from 5 to 56 years, were treated in our institute (1971-1989). Fifty-eight of them underwent limb-salvage surgery including 38 prosthetic replacement and 15 with wide resection only and 5 with rotation plasty. The survival rates of the 58 patients is shown in Table 5. The functional evaluation according to the Enneking's criteria was evaluated. In the evaluation of a function of the affected limbs following surgery satisfactory daily life capability may be taken into consideration even if the recreational capability is low.
